Below, players can find just how to get the Tri-Beam Laser Rifle, with a demonstration of its ability and stats. The weapon itself might have some strong staying power, depending on the playstyle of each Looper, as this accurate, far-firing laser rifle has the potential to be one of the greats, especially when it comes to handing Chapter 5 Season 3 Accolades.

How To Get The Tri-Beam Laser Rifle

The Tri-Beam Laser Rifle is a collab weapon of Epic rarity in the Assault category. Players are able to acquire a Tri-Beam Laser Rifle through random loot, by opening chests or finding it on the ground. There are no other requirements to get the Tri-Beam Laser Rifle, and although there is not a guaranteed method of acquiring it, it is still a rather common spawn found in chests and on the ground, so just land at POIs with a high interest in loot potential, and try to seek one out.

The Tri-Beam Laser Rifle is a finicky weapon, and whilst players have infinite ammo, they will only be able to consistently fire 9 shots when holding down the fire button before the weapon overheats. When overheating, players will have to wait 3 seconds for the weapon to reset.

Below, players can find a compilation of the Tri-Beam Laser Rifle in action, showcasing its fire rate against other players, and its damage potential when shooting others in the body or the head. The video helps to display the advantages and disadvantages of the weapon, as well as a trick to use two Tri-Beam Laser Rifles instead of just one.

The best strategy for the Tri-Beam Laser Rifle might sound odd, but it's to carry two of them. When one weapon overheats, players can quickly swap to the other Tri-Beam Laser Rifle, firing those shots until that weapon overheats, allowing for a fluid way to switch between the two weapons repeatedly.

The Tri-Beam Laser Rifle fires slowly and has a bit of a kick, so it's best to shoot it like it's semi-auto rather than full-auto. The advantages of the Tri-Beam Laser Rifle come from the fact that it can deal damage from very far away, allowing for a consistent range of shots that hit their targets from well over 120 meters away, with little risk of bullet drop.
